Tutorial #4: Ditch Light Install - 2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid
Hey Guys!
For those of you with RAV4 hybrids like me you know that our batteries are in the trunk. Luckily you won't have to run the wire all the way back there. Here's a quick video of the solution I found!
Here are the links to all the parts I used:
Cali Raised LED - Side Shooters

Cali Raised LED Wiring Harness

LP Aventure Ditch Light Hood Brackets

Curt Class 3 trailer hitch with 2" receiver

Feel free to ask any questions!
Thank you for watching my video! :)

Nice pal. Appreciate the relaxing music as opposed to noise others use for back ground that sounds like a bunch of wild heathens with head hunting propensities.

Hi 3/8/22 I just connected my 6Shooter Trigger Controller, of course, XSE Hybrid. I watched this video a lot of times. I don’t have to run power from the battery on the rear. Thanks 🙏🏼 for this video !!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! I plan on getting the 6shooter wireless as well once I add the light pods on the roof. I’m glad I was able to help! I didn’t want to run the wires all the way to the trunk either that why I made this video to help other not have to do the same 🤗
I have raptor lights on my vehicle and the black wire for it is grounded on that bolt you mentioned. Can two black wires use the same grounding bolt?
I'm installing rock lights on my 2020 XSE and this video was super helpful. Thank you!

Hey Jody, I want to know the brand of your hood protector. Thank you!
Do you have any updates? Have you had any issues since starting to use that point for powering your accessories?
Great video ... Thank you for making it

Nice video, good instructions.. thanks! One small question: did you had any issue by disconnecting the positive terminal at the fuse box when you were placing the positive wire of the light harness? You are the only one in KZread that did not made a hole at the fuse box! Much better the route you did... Thanks

Thank you! Yeah, when I go camping or anything off road the engine bay gets real dirty. So I didn’t want to drill a hole and cause any potential damage in the fuse box. I didn’t have any issues 👌🏽

Nice video! I'm considering getting a RAV4 and building it up as well. Did you consider a Trigger 4 Plus Wireless Accessory Controller for your lights? I think that would allow you to not need to wire the switch through the firewall. This device allows you to control any accessories wirelessly or via your phone which is pretty cool. Last Last of Defense did a video using it.

Did you disconnect the battery on the trunk before tapping the wire on the fuse box?
Hi Jody, could you please do a video about installation of Trigger 4 plus wireless controller. Because, I have RAV4 hybrid XLE and want to install that but I don’t have idea how to install that. Thank you

@@TheNivragni I investigated myself. Hi-beams and DRL are coupled together like the old-style halogen bulb circuit. Hi-beam 12V, DRL 6V. There is no 0-12V level with the factory switch. If you want, you can use an auxiliary circuit to convert 12-6 to 12-0. There are some circuits available in the market, however, they are not designed for automotive applications. They will not last long and may not be safe.
Where did you get that hood shield/protector. Would like to add on mines!

I actually got lucky! I went into my local auto store (autozone) to pick up car soap, and they so happened to have one. So I just got it 😅
What is that spot where you connected the positive wire? Most people I've seen connect it straight to the battery terminal.

Just realized that the hybrid battery is in the back and this must be where you draw power from the front. Is it ignition controlled though? Or do your lights stay on when the ignition is off?

@@aaronjhall hey Aaron, yeah… unfortunately, for the hybrids or batteries are in the trunk. For awhile we were running the wiring through the floors into the trunk, but there had to be an easier way… so my friends and I found this route. The raptor lights are on when the ignition is on. The power switch works on/off with the ditch lights 👍🏽
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Gracias Thanks 🔥🔥🔥🔥
so this is how you get power for those ditch lights? simple as that you dont have to create or run any extra fuse in the fuse box? or run the wire behind the battery?
The Primes doesn't have that nut. Where can I tap for power?

There's an alternative method in the fuse box here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKeVmshweL3Sido.html Also thinking out loud - you might be able to tap an existing fuse if your load is within reason (ex LED based lighting). Take all precautions though.
